DPTest: D'agostino Pearson Omnibus Test

Description

This function computes the D'agostino Pearson omnibus test using adjusted Fisher- Pearson skewness and kurtosis estimators.

Usage

DPTest(data, alpha = 0.05, j = 1, warn = T)

Arguments

data

Data of a univariate distribution for which the test statistic is computed (vector)

alpha

The two-sided decision threshold used for hypothesis-testing

j

The # hypotheses tested; used to compute a Bonferonni correction, if applicable; should remain at its default if multiple testing is not an issue (scalar)

warn

Used for printing a warning message when testing is terminated for N < 8 (boolean)

Value

An object including the test statistic, p-value, and a significance flag (list)
